Which of the following is a feature of Nigerian Federalism?

  1. Strong central government
  2. Autonomy of local government ✓
  3. Single-party system
  4. Centralized fiscal system
Explanation

Nigerian federalism gives local governments independence to manage their own affairs. This autonomy is protected in the constitution.

While Nigeria has a fairly strong federal government, giving power to local governments is a key federal feature. Single-party and centralized fiscal systems don’t match Nigeria’s federal structure.

Local government autonomy lets communities control local issues like markets, parks, and primary education.
